I am a writer. I have written, among many other things, seven complete novels and I am currently working on my eighth. I want as many people as possible to read my work and, if they wish, to give me their comments on it.
So, on this site I am going to tell people about my books, what started me writing them and the sources of my inspiration. It may also have information about what my friends write and how we work together. In addition I will probably give my views on a number of topics, most of which will appear in my books in some form or another.
I hope you will enjoy reading these ramblings and you will be welcome to give me your positive views on the subjects covered.

Hi David
This is all very new to me – my wife says I have been dragged screaming into the 21st Century. As well as being an author I am also an avid reader and some years ago acquired a Sony PRS-505. I was very happy with this as although a Brit I live in Spain and English books were a bit of a drag to get hold of. I bought a lot from the UK but for the last year have found that impossible because of “Territorial rights” which seem to have appeared on e-books. I then bought a Kindle which I like but find that I can only buy from Amazon.com not Amazon.co.uk. for the same reason. I find this very irritating. How do you get on with buying your books in Norway? I am interested because I have now started selling my books as e-books so the marketing side of things is of interest to me. If you would like to find out more about me visit my website hhtp://mike@mikehillier.com

Hi Cassidym

Thanks for the welcome - this is a "Brave New World" to me. Do you buy your e-books from the Sony e-book library in US. The wouldn´t sell to me because I live in Spain - I thought the internet was intended to remove international boundaries!!!!!!!!

May I offer you a warm welcome to Mobileread Forums.

Have a browse around, you may have already discovered the Main Forum is laid out in a logical manner.

Everyone’s friendly, if you need any help, do ask around. Members with Green names are the hard-working Moderators…(they don’t bite, just keep the rest of us safe.)

If you want a non-technical chat or three, pop into the Lounge .

check out our Wiki for other information ....

Please join in and enjoy your stay .....

After about a week, and at least 10 posts, you’ll be able to add a signature - now wouldn’t that be worth waiting for? (although check the guidelines).

Have you seen the Author Self-Promotion Forum ... and also the Writers' Corner ... Another two of the many gems we have on board ...

Buying directly from the Kindle and if the book is geographically restricted, well lets just say that there are ways around that . Which are explained in detail on other threads here at MR.
